Get Your Message Out Effectively & Efficiently

There are competing images and messages everywhere. Break through the clutter with outstanding graphics and captivating copy. We have developed everything from trade show booths, brochures, and newsletters to Web banners, direct mail, and point-of-purchase materials, including:

Buy Recycled Brochure for Commercial and Industrial Organizations

Client: Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (PADEP) Recycling Program
A brochure to encourage commercial and industrial organizations to buy recycle-content materials

PADEP Recycling Program

To motivate businesses to help achieve the state's 35 percent recycling goal and to increase recycled-product purchasing, ICF International created a leave-behind "Buy-Recycled" binder. It includes a general brochure about purchasing recycled products, along with energy efficiency and pollution prevention information. We also developed a direct mail reply card for businesses to request further information about purchasing recycled-content materials or to schedule a visit from the Buy Recycled Business Representative. The reply piece features a pledge card encouraging businesses to commit to purchasing recycled-content materials in the upcoming year.

High School Journalism/Public Service Announcement (PSA) Student Contest

Client: Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (PADEP) Recycling Program
An annual contest inviting high school students to write an article or prepare a video public service announcement about a specific recycling topic

Journalism PSA High School Student Contest

To target youth in PADEP's recycling and waste reduction education efforts, ICF International designed an energetic promotional piece to advertise Pennsylvania's annual High School Journalism/PSA Contest. This creative piece was two-sided and folded to provide a pocket for application materials and offer guidance to educators as to how to promote the contest. The opposite side targeted the students and was printed so that it could be unfolded and mounted on a wall as a poster. The information packet was followed up with a reminder postcard using the same design elements. In part due to the more captivating communication materials, this year's submissions for the contest exceeded those of the previous year by more than 300 percent.

Pennsylvania Environmental Assistance Network Outreach Strategy

Client: Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (PADEP)
A comprehensive outreach strategy to leverage third parties in Pennsylvania

ICF International worked with PADEP to build and publicize the Pennsylvania Environmental Assistance Network (PEAN), a private-public network specializing in providing pollution prevention and energy efficiency advice and services to small-and medium-sized businesses statewide. To assist PEAN in its goals, we devised a comprehensive outreach strategy that works simultaneously to reinforce the program infrastructure through member education and to develop clear fulfillment messages and materials that can "get the word out" about PEAN. We are developing a program logo, Web site, brochure, member tool kits, and press materials.

Public Outreach Support for U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Office of Underground Storage Tanks

Client: U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Office of Underground Storage Tanks
Technical and nontechnical communications materials about underground storage tank regulations

Since 1985, ICF International has supported all public information and outreach activities for EPA's Underground Storage Tank (UST) program. The challenge during the last decade has been to develop outreach materials that provide information to a variety of audiences, including state regulators who implement the requirements, contracting companies who replace tanks and clean up releases, and owners and operators. We have produced hundreds of technical and nontechnical outreach products. We have also developed briefings, slide shows of UST sites and upgrade activities, training programs, fact sheets, handbooks, brochures, flyers, videos, and other "quick read" materials, in English and Spanish. In addition, we visited state UST offices and facilitated workshops, seminars, and Consultants Days' to define the information needs of regulators and the regulated community.
